Bio
Born to a very wealthy merchant near Marathon, Iosif was the eldest of his family’s children, and meant to one day take over his family’s business. His father controlled a small fleet of ships which moved a variety of goods. Somewhere around the age of 11, Iosif’s father came into possession of a strange, but beautifully polished stone. In the dark, it seemed to glow a dim violet color at times. Some of his father’s friends begged him to get rid of the stone, but the man believed he could probably fetch a high price for it.
Then one late night, during a new moon a few months later, Iosif managed to find his father and mother dead, along with many other bodyguards and associates of his father. He found a strange...large man wearing nothing but a light robe standing over his father’s body, holding the rock his father found. The man had no hair on his body, and his eyes seemed to glow violet.
In anger and frustration, Iosif grabbed the closest blunt object, and rushed the man with a yell. He managed to strike the rock with his makeshift club, shattering it, causing it to splinter all over him causing a cut right over his eyes on his brow. The man sounded furious, those his face did not show it. He struck the boy in the throat, and tossed him from a nearby window on to the ground a few stories below. Iosif rolled into a nearby river, gasping for breath, as he watched the strange man glare at him furiously from up above. The young boy ran away, and managed to find a local to try and get help...but when he tried speaking to him, no words came out. When he tried to go back home, he found the place abandoned, no one in sight.
Desperate, and confused, Iosif managed to find a mercenary that used to work his father. Taking some pity on the boy, the mercenary took the child in and made him work in his band. As the boy grew used to fighting, and communicating with no sound, he began to get...visions. Senses of incoming danger to himself and his allies. At first, they were vague, but as he grew older, the visions became more vivid. And then he began receiving premonitions of the strange man again...coming after him moments before he appeared.
Iosif began running to avoid the strange man, and disappeared from his mercenary company around the age of 22. He wasn’t sure why the man was still after him, but he didn’t want to be caught by him again. He needed to find some way to stop that monster, so he began wandering all over Greece to try and find a way to stop it.
